Calculation of Molecular Absorption Parameters and Updating the AFGL atmospheric Line Parameter Compilation

Abstract

The changes and updates made that produced the 1986 version of the HITRAN database are discussed. The new format adopted and the programs and files that are distributed with the database are reviewed. We present the new parameters added to the database and the sources of the data. We briefly discuss our work on the temperature dependence of the N2-broadened halfwidths and line shifts for ozone and water vapor. The work done on the calculation of line intensities for transitions in the visible region of the spectrum for water vapor is given. We discuss many of the miscellaneous tasks relating to the database that were done under this contract. Finally the work done on calculating the total internal partition sums and their temperature dependence for the species on the database is presented.
